The psychology of managing the next few weeks

[Berkshire Blade]

If we’d have signed a few more players who weren’t injured or had a bit of match fitness in both the Summer and January we’d have been able to compete. We didn’t though and we’ve been found wanting.

Hard to buy players who are getting game time in January unless they are coming up a level. Cannon was probably the most active this year one we signed...

Not sure who we could say isn't/shouldn't be match sharp by April which is when we fell over though outside of fresh injured players.

If that’s been in Bamford’s head since 2019 it’s no wonder he’s turned in to a cabbage of a footballer.

Start Holding in both of the remaining games, would be my priority. And get Cannon and Campbell some minutes on the pitch together, worth seeing if that combo might work as I reckon part of the problem recently is just down to how predictable our formation and approach has become over the course of the season.

Rumours circulating that Sunderland AFC has a new owner ie the club has been sold. That's all we know ATM.

We had the option of a few players at CB and RB who had been playing regularly for their clubs, we chose to spend the £10m on a striker who has yielded 1 goal instead.
